Dive Site:
SS Nord
Description:
If you are into wrecks then this is a great dive. The SS
Nord is an 81 metre long, 12.75 metre wide, 1,840 ton
freighter. It sank in the afternoon of 7 November 1915
after hitting 'The Needle' just near 'The Hippolytes'.
The wreck is for experienced divers comfortable with
bluewater ascents with maximum depths around 41m.
We recommend the use of redundant air systems for
safety. There is plenty of structure to investigate and the
wreck hosts many schools of fish.
Dive Site:
St Helens
Description:
Situated at the top end of Georges Bay, St Helens is a former
mining town that now relies on the fishing industry and tourism
for its existence. Visitors enjoy seafood meals, buy arts and
crafts, explore the nearby National parks, and dive the unique
marine world along the coastline.

Dive Site:
The Friars
Description:
Can be a little hit and miss. Some spectacular
diving in a remote location. Max depth 30m.
Shallower spots available.
Dive Site:
The Houndstooth - Bruny Island
Description:
"The Houndstooth, Bruny Island.
Drop in directly off the point separated from the island by a narrow
gulch. Head straight out to find a shelf at about 25m which follows
the point curving south and then back in towards the gulch. Look
beyond the shelf !! Keep heading east and drop to around 35m
THEN follow the curve wide and around at 30 - 35m for an
incredible sponge garden and huge rock buttresses covered in
stunning zooanthids. The gulch makes a beautiful stop so head
into it and back around to the point.
With max non-deco time at 33m we still got a 45min dive by gently
paddling around at 5m back to the boat. Minimal swell is required
to hang around in the gulch but the deeper water may not be too
affected by surge or current in a slightly larger sea.
Nitrox would be well worth it as there is so much to take in at
30m+. This is at least as good if not better than Bicheno for
scenery!"
